ALLIED SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, London, Aug. 1—(U.E)—Victory-flushed American tank forces swerved suddenly eastward today in a 10-mile drive from Avranches which threatened to box up the entire French front, leaving in their wake seven destroyed enemy divisions and more than 23.000 Germans dead or prisoners with the count only partially complete.
Under the tremendous impetus of the American break-out from Normandy, onto the Breton plain, the Allies swung into a coordinated offensive along a 100-mile front, driving for a knockout blow against the lines that had barred the Paris roads since D-day.
Linking up with the American east flank, British tank forces deepened their wedge in the center of the line to 11 miles in a thundering battle involving heavy forces of artillery. Canadian troops, striking through a dense fog, launched a powerful attack at dawn southeast of Caen against the last intact section of the German line.
The 11:30 p.m. Allied communique announced that British troops had captured Le Beny-Bocage, 17 miles southeast of St. Lo, and t^at the Yanks had seized control of the See-Selune river system by capturing dams 10 miles southeast of Avranches.
German forces which had been counter-attacking savagely at the pivot of the American line around Percy and Tessy-Sur-Vire faltered and fell back as the Allied advances on either side undermined their flanks and American anti-tank gunners in front knocked out most of their armor. The Yanks fought their way back inito both Tessy and Percy Tuesday morning and their swift recapture seemed assured.
American Negro truck drivers, armed with battle knives the size of butcher’s blades, and Yank commandos carrying piano-wire garrots were pressed into service as ambush parties along the German lines of retreat, front dispatches said.

Summer chorus will interpret God of Congo
Featuring the premiere of a setting of Vachel Lindsay’s poem “God of the Congo” by Edwin Paddock, local composer, the university summer chorus and orchestra will present a program of varied musical selections at 11:20 a.m. tomorrow in Bovard auditorium.
The summer chorus is composed of 60 graduate students and teachers from the School of Music. “Though the chorus has been in rehearsal only four weeks, it has touched varied choral ’ literature during that time, as the program will show,” said Charles C. Hirt, visiting lecturer in music, who directs the group.
Choral music to be presented tomorrow includes “Ebb and Flow,” Loomis; “Pedlar,” Wilson; “I Have Longed for Thy Saving Health,” Byrd; “Agnus Dei,” Ka-linnikof; “All Breathing Life,” J.
S. Bach; “Czechoslovakian Dance Song,” arranged by Max Krone, professor of music.
"Bayuski Bayu,” a Cossack folk tune, arranged by Evans; “Holiday Song,” William Schumann; “Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray,” a Negro spiritual, Cain; and “God of the Congo,” Paddock.
Orchestra numbers to be conducted by Dr. Lucien Cailliet, director of the university band and orchestra, are “Waltz in D," Chopin; “The Way You Look Tonight,” Kern; and variations of “Pop Goes the Weasel,” Cailliet. Between the choral and orchestral selections, Betty Robinson, student of the School of Music, will play a violin solo, “Czardas,” by Monti.
Guests at the program will be Paddock and several persons from Hollywood studios who are considering “God of the Congo” for a motion picture.
Officer alumni visit SC campus
The campus yesterday was honored by the visit of three ranking naval officers, former Trojans who returned for a few hours to the scenes of their former activities.
Lt. Lewis K. Gough, *31, former student body president and executive director for 11 years of the General Alumni association, who for the past two years has been aide to Vice-Admiral William S. Pye, president of the naval war college at Newport, R.I., was on campus to spend a part of his brief furlough.
Lt. Comdr. Sam Barry, former coach for many of SC’s winning football, baseball, and basketball teams, also paid a visit to his former headquarters. He has been serving as director of the navy's recreational program on New Caledonia and is now enroute to a new assignment at Corpus Christi.
Lt. Comdr. Thurston H. Ross, another visitor, paid his respects to a number of campus friends before returning to Washington, D.C., where he is stationed with the naval transportation service.
ficers to teach youth the fundamentals of driving.
Since Pearl Harbor more than
64.000 civilians have been killed in automobile accidents alone, with 2.000,000 maimed and crippled. On all battlefronts the total killed is 50.574 with 174.000 injured.
Yesterday Dr. Amos Neyhart, Pennsylvania State college, instructed the afternoon session on the importance of the eye in driving an automobile. He stressed the point that an operator’s vision is 95 per cent of his safety against accidents and that no one with vision worse than 20-30 in one eye should drive a car.
Dr. Neyhart said, too, that after
the war there will be some 50,000,-
000 cars on the road compared with the present 30.000.000 today during gas and tire rationing. Along this line he also stated that every month our auto accidents have increased and, that if this increase keeps up after the war, the accident rate will reach untold proportions.
Request program
Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2 in D will highlight tomorrow’s listening hour of request programs from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. in 103 Hancock, according to Pauline Alderman, associate professor of music.
